 Massacred.-Last week, in this county, a noted general and his entire army. About two months ago the general raIded our peaceful land and made desperate effort to establish himself king But he was duly and boldly met by a strong force of men, women, and children armed with blows and hoes. The battle was a long and fierce one. No blood but much precipitation was spilled in the en' gagement. The general and his army were dried in the sunshine and buried on the battle (cotton) field. The people are happy over their victory and the hattering prospect for fine crops, It vas the famous Gen. Grass.

PAYING THE DEBT.
The State Debt Board Accept Or fers for Redemption of Bonds.

The state debt board met yes terday and opened the bids fol furnishing the outstanding 6pei cent uon.H Holford bonds to the state. There were twelve bids in all. representing S725,000 in bonds and S1,317 ,500 in bonds and ac. crued interest, and amounting tC nearly one.half the states total outstanding indebtedness. Ofthe twelve bids the highest was to sell the bonds to the state at 90 cents and the lowest at 7I 37-3S cents The board accepted three bids as follows:
 One from C. II. Stout of New York to furnish bonds amounting in principal and interest to s3S,O0O at 71 37-3Sc on the dollar.
 One from E. II. Bonner X Co.,, of New York to furnish SGl ,OOO in bonds and interest at 72c on the dollar.
 W. II. Hall offered SS5,O at 15C on the dollar. As there was only ~J6, 13S in currency remaining Ill the treasury for this purpose 1t was agreed to accept his bld to this amount.
 This uses up all the funds i'll the treasury at present available tol this purpose. The parties were notified by wire yesterday of the acceptance of their bids. Up to Tuesday evening there had not been single bid received. They all came in "Wednesday and up to noon yesterday when they were opened. Arkansas Gazette. July lst.
 From the above, it will be seen that the good work of getting rid of the states indebtedness has been begun. This is the work of Arkansas Democracy. Let our people remember this, and also that our State debt was created by the Republican party.

The town council of Paris has lately opened
several night shelters, each of which has ac-
commodation for several hundred outcasts.
When applicants arrive at these homes,
where they may remain several days at q
time, they get thorough overhauling in a
bath, and are then given a fresh outfit and a
bowl of SOUP There are three other night
refugees belonging to the Guvre de rHospi-
talite de Mutt, established in 1878 The work
IS kept up voluntary contributions. 1t re-
eeives cast off clothing, bread, and all sorts
of crumbs from rich mems tables for dis
tribution. In addition to providing nightly
lodging for the miserable it receives the con-
valescent from hospitals, and finds places for
those who are willing to work. Last year it
received 10000 homeless creatures, many of
whom remained for several consecutive
nights. OF these $4,000 were French, 1921
German, 2,112 Belgian, 800 Swiss, 602 italian
and 20 English. Over 10000 pieces of bread
and Il, 600 bowls of soup, or other rations,
were served and $1,000 articles of clothing
distributed. The total expense was $3.50, 900.

Recently the Thanet Harriers drove their
hare over cliff on the edge of Pegwell bay,
and but for the fortunate circumstance that
it was high water the five hounds which fol
lowed puss over the fatal verge must newt
ably have perished, after falling from q
height of more than sixty feet. As it was,
the poor brutes swan about and kept their
heads above water as best they could, until a
shooting punt was manned at Pegwel, which
proceeded to their relief Three of the hounds
were picked up in fairly good condition, a
fourth was able to reach the breakwater OPP
posite the West Cliff terrace, where he was
rescued by some boatDlen, and the fifth was
only just alive when lifted out of the sea. On
landing the last named sufferer was put into
a hot bath and literally dosed with spirits,
which might have been expected to kill him
but from-or perhaps by the aid of-which
he recovered. The luckless hare was the only
victim of disaster.-Boston Transcript.

When in 1865 the Atlantic cable was lost
DO you remember that the Great Eastern and
the Albany went out to find it? Thirty times
they sank the grapple two and half miles
deep in the water After awhile they found
the cable and brought it to the surface. No
sooner had it been brought to the surface
than they lifted a shout of exultation, but the
cable slipped back again into the water and
was lost. Then for two weeks more they
swept the sea with the graphing hooks, and
at last they found the cable and brought it up
in silence. They fastened it this time Then
with great excitement they took one end of tho
cable to the electricians room to see if there
were really any life in it, and when they
saw a spark and knew that message could
be sent, then every hat was lifted, and the
rockets flew and the guns sounded until all
the vessels on the expedition knew the work
was done, and tho continents were lashedto-
gether. Well, my friends, Sabbath after

and again we have thought you were at
the surface and began to rejoice
over your redemption; but at the
moment of our gladness you sank back again
into the world and back again into sin. To-
day we come with this Gospel searching for
your soul. We apply the cross of Christ first
to see whether there is any life left in you,
while all around the people stand, looking to
see whether the work will be done, and the
angels of God bend down and witness, and
oh, if nowwe could see only one spark of love
and hope and faith, we would send up g.
shout that would be heard on the battlements
of heaven, and two worlds would keep jubi-
lee because communication is open between
Christ and the soul. and your nature that
has been sunken in sin has been lifted into the
